Killed in action in Afghanistan on April 7th, 2012. He was in the back left seat of a humvee when it got hit on the driver side by an RPG. Him and the driver died, the two in the right and the gunner survived. I found this out late last night and have gotten maybe 3 hours of sleep since. Out of the now 4 guys I have known that went over there and didn't come back this one definitely hits the hardest. He was my roommate in AIT at Ft. Leonardwood and the first real friend I made in the Army.

He was a huge Miami Dolphins and FSU fan, as well as the stubbornest damn Monopoly player I've ever seen($500 for Baltic Ave seems a little unreasonable to me). He would go on a spirited rant at least once a week on why Biggie was better than Pac even though he knew I didn't give a shit. He'd always pause in the middle and say "You better be listening to me MF'er" as I was playing Madden or something :lol:. He joined the Army for the college money, he wanted to be a history teacher and HS football coach. He also had a 3 year old daughter named Jada.

I'll miss ya Morgan, RIP.

No doubt. For the most part Morgan didn't care much for my music but he loved the shit out of "Achilles Last Stand" for some reason so I threw that on this morning while brewing coffee. It is a pretty damn good song.

That is good. I would toss that in my computer right now but I took the box set home last night. Damn....
Maybe I will YouTube it. Thanks for the suggestion. Least I could do as a mini-tribute to your friend and
a proud member of our military.

Very sorry for your loss. Seriously, cool story bro. Certain tunes remind me of people, places and experiences. It's great you have that sort of random song to remember your friend.
